You reach the front of the potion supplies shop, the sign is hand painted in colorful fashion with the words “ Pot Shop” and images of various potion bottles, plants and herbs and a mortars and pestle. You enter the shop and a gentle bell rings alerting to your presence. From a back room you hear a female voice say, “ be right with ya.”
the shop is 20’x20’ with the room divided in half creating a workshop space in back and the shop proper in front. There is a long counter made of glass containers holding some of the more rare potions and components. Along the left wall can be found well organized paper envelopes filled with dried herbs, flowers and other components required for making potions and salves, along with glass vials, bottles and ceramic jars of varying shapes and sizes. The variety is staggering for such a small town shop. On the right wall are shelves full of salves, potions, and essential oils of all kinds of more common types.
After a moment, a slender elven woman in simple garb and apron emerges from the back room. Her elegant elvish features and golden hair seem even more stunning in the simple dress. “ Welcome to the Pot Shop, my name is Marelle, i am the owner of this humble apothecary. What can I help you find today?”
Hi I found your shop walking around the town and wanted to find out more about it. Are you also making potions or just selling the herbs to make them. I’m looking to make healing potions
also just to be completely upfront and above board I’m also considering opening up a shop. I can make potions as well as other things. But don’t want to set up a trade war.
Points to the components to healing and asks the price for the herbs (and if she has the potion. How much are those)
Marelle will point to the right wall where you see many prepared potions. “ these are the preparations we have in stock today, the healing potions are very fresh, just finished this batch today.”
Healing 50gp ( there are 5 in stock)
Greater 200-250g ( there are 5 in stock)
Superior 2000-2500gp ( there are 2 in stock)
Supreme 20000-25000gp ( only 1 of these)
On the left side of the shop are the raw ingredients in nice little paper packets with her logo on it. “ here you will find many varieties of components, hand selected for the best quality. The healing herbs come pre-mixed since they are our best seller, you just need to do the. Cooking and distillation. Those kits are 35 gp per packet. Individual herbs vary in price by rarity “
“Thanks for this info. Assume that when the adventures come to town that you have problems keeping up with the potions business. I was thinking of also setting up shop. If we charged the same amount for potions and referral to each other when we ran out. Could be very profit both of us
are you growing your own herbs or just finding them wild.
“ welcome to the neighborhood. It is difficult at times to keep up with demand, particularly as the adventure season hits full stride. The wonderous woods can be quite dangerous. Most of the plants cannot be raised domestically, they never seem to maintain potency like they do in the wild. I generally hire out for supplies when i get low and i buy and trade from adventurers when they return from the forest. It has worked out well. As for the prices, fixing prices is discouraged by Mayor Dreamleaf. He prefers prices to remain fluid and generally near the end of the season the costs go up due to diminishing harvest possibilities. So charge what you think you can get based on your labor and effort in acquiring supply. For instance the base healing potions can range from 50 to 75 gp during the season. Occasionally you can get up to 100gp if you don’t particularly like a customer” she laughs a little at that, as if she was thinking of a particular patron at the time.
Chanka would reach the end of the rope when inside the well, he would drop down and chirp up for salt peet to come join him. He would try using his 30 feet darkvision to look around his souroundings.

Thanks for the warm welcome. how long did it take you before you could make this potion (points to the 20k healing) I figure I have a long way to go before getting to that level
After I get an answer I thank her and head to the city hall to see about my permit. tell them what building i like and work to get the keys.
Chanka would reach the end of the rope when inside the well, he would drop down and chirp up for salt peet to come join him. He would try using his 30 feet darkvision to look around his souroundings.
Salt Peet quickly follows you down to the wells bottom. There is a tunnel cut into wall of the well that extends an unknown distance to the east. On the floor of the well you find a boys shoe and lots of foot prints. You surmise this is definitely where the goblins come and go from.
Peet will ask, “ you wants lights? Or stay darks?” He is comfortable with the darkness himself.
Marelle will tell you it took a year to just the brew the 20k healing potion and almost as long to track down all the compounds.
At the town hall you are greeted by a male halfling clerk. “ Well howdy and hello, my name is Uripos Bushville, town clerk and barrister. What can i help you with on this fine day?”
"Dark" he would say maybe the darkness would offer them some cover. Chankla would continue leading the two as he followed the trail closely following the footprints.
You follow through the roughly carved tunnel, the world is shades of grey and jet black beyond the 30’ of your vision. The air smells of damp earth every footstep seems to sound loud due to the utter silence, but you know instinctively its more imagination than reality as you are both being stealthy and quiet. You make it 60’ in where the tunnel veers to the north east with a south section carved out. You see some fairly new barrels stored here.
I would continue in a stealthy fashion as i check the corrdiors before going up to the barrels, I would open them up out of curiosity and hope it wasnt a trap of some sort.
The first barrel is filled with mining tools, most in rough shape from what you can tell. When you open the lid and the second barrel, you notice too late the thin string attached to the lid and from the roof overhead a bucket spills over towards you. Roll. Dex save dc15
Chankla moved with lightning speed and evades the substance spilled from the bucket, which he now can tell is a foul mixture of urine and feces. Inside the lid of the barrel is a note crudely inscribed in common in large blocky letters. “ Hah hahahaha!”
from this location you can see the tunnel ends 40’ or so with what appears to be an iron door. There is light coming from beneath the door.
Chankla hoped there wasnt any traps like that for the remainder of this expedition, he would hate to be covered in that old goop, he would continue walking down the path untill he reached the door, he would put his ear to it.

26 Chankla felt like he reacted a moment too late as he tried to throw himself out of the way.
